Tsinghua University Internet Industry Research Institute: 2022 Urban Zero-Carbon Transportation White Paper (with report)

Summary

The 2015 Paris Agreement established the long-term goal of global temperature control. By the end of December 2021, the carbon neutral goal has covered 88% of global greenhouse gas emissions, 90% of the world’s economic volume and 85% of the world’s population. However, the total amount of global carbon emissions is still rising. According to the latest data, global carbon dioxide emissions are expected to set a new record in 2022, reaching 40.6 billion tons. At the twenty-seventh Conference of the Parties (COP27) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27), which ended in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt not long ago, although it was difficult for countries to finally reach a consensus, there are still differences on many key issues. The road to neutralization is long and difficult.

In 2020, my country proposed the self-reduction goal of “carbon peaking in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060”. The establishment of the “double carbon” goal is an inevitable choice and an urgent need for my country to enter a new development stage and achieve sustainable development. It will force the transformation of China’s energy structure, production mode, and economic structure, and promote the high-quality development of various industries.

Carbon emissions in the transportation sector account for about a quarter of the total global carbon emissions, and are closely related to human production and life, and are highly valued by all countries. In my country, carbon emissions in the transportation sector account for about 10% of the total carbon emissions, among which urban road traffic is the main source of carbon emissions. With the steady advancement of China’s economic development and the deepening of urbanization, the demand for urban customers and freight services will maintain rapid growth, and the pressure on road traffic emissions will continue to increase.

Under the development trend of electrification, intelligence, and networking in the automobile industry, the greening of the automobile industry driven by new energy vehicles will become an important driving force for carbon emission reduction in the transportation field. my country’s new energy vehicle industry is developing rapidly, and its sales and ownership rank first in the world. At the same time, we must also see that there are still huge gaps in the supporting energy infrastructure and intelligent transportation infrastructure in cities.

Under the background of global carbon neutrality research, this report briefly describes the status quo of carbon emission reduction in major countries around the world, focusing on the transportation sector, focusing on the analysis of the status quo and influencing factors of carbon emissions in my country’s urban transportation sector, and systematically sorting out the policies in the transportation sector planning. Based on a series of the latest data and research results at home and abroad, based on the significance of the transportation industry for energy conservation and emission reduction of the whole industry, this report discusses the development of urban zero-carbon transportation from five aspects: “regulation, management, road, vehicle, and people”. The path is to promote the legal and regulatory system that supports the construction of sustainable transportation as the cornerstone, through optimizing road management, rationally allocating transportation resources, constructing and improving road infrastructure compatible with the new transportation system, improving the intelligent level of transportation vehicles, and strengthening the green environment of users. In several aspects of the transportation concept, we will work together to create a new urban landscape leading to the goal of zero-carbon transportation.

In addition, this report proposes key infrastructure in future zero-carbon transportation, and introduces six typical application scenarios and cases. Finally, the report puts forward policy recommendations from eight aspects: fiscal and tax policies, data collection, market mechanism, scientific and technological support, improvement of new infrastructure, system consolidation, popularization and publicity, and talent reserve, in order to promote the social structure with cities as important units to low-carbon , The goal of zero carbon goes further.
